Are you still holding to your previously posted drivel?:"

Technical Editor said: The citizenship of your parents has nothing to do with yours. If you are a U.S. citizen now, and you never were naturalized as a U.S. citizen, then you are a natural born citizen.

It's not drivel; it's the truth. It's U.S. law. An anchor baby can grow up to be president if people vote for him or her, because an anchor baby is a natural born citizen. Whether anyone would, however, is an open question, but we see that a lot of airheads voted for Obama, who had a lot against him besides an uncertain birth story. Ever heard of a child born to illegal immigrants who had to go through a naturalization process? Of course not. They are citizens by birth, natural born citizens. That's what all the ruckus is about regarding illegal immigrants (or at least part of the ruckus). They qualify for all the rights and services reserved for American citizens simply by being born here. Aren't all you opponents of illegal immigration talking about that fact as well as the general outrageousness of the illegals being here illegally and tolerated both by government and business?

Once again: If you never had to go through the naturalization process to become an American Citizen, and you are presently a citizen of the United States, then you were either:

Born in the United States of parents who might or might not be American citizens.
Born outside the United States of parents who are United States citizens.
Born outside the United States of parents, at least one of whom is an American citizen. Both the citizen parent and the noncitizen parent of a child born overseas have to meet certain criteria set forth in the law.
